Tasting evaluates Easter eggs sold in supermarkets for up to R $ 83

A few days from Easter, the gondolas of all supermarkets are already full of eggs. To help in the time of choice, the Sheet It evaluated the blind 46 eggs found in large hammers and handicrafts with reduced production.

The chocolates were divided into six categories to allow a more accurate comparison of their characteristics: to milk (5), white (5), crispy (7), bitter (7), stuffed (13) and available in large supermarket chains (9). No brand has been repeated in more than one category.

Criteria such as ingredients, texture, presentation, taste and proportion of chocolate and other ingredients were taken into account. The exaggerated presence of sugar was a constant in most categories.

The selection gathered both brands that sent eggs to the newsroom and those they sent on request, as well as products bought by the newspaper. The jury was not prior knowledge of the brands that participated in the evaluation, which follows editorial criteria.

The experts formed the judges: Helena Lima, confectioner of the restaurant Maní; Katia Yoshihara, confectioner and gastronomy teacher at the Belas Artes University Center; Maurício Marques Lopes Filho, Professor of Gastronomy at Mackenzie Presbyterian University; Priscila Pastre, gastronomic criticism of Sheet; and Vera Gasparian, a businesswoman graduated in gastronomy. Beyond them, journalists from Sheet that are consumers of these products joined the tables in each category.

The Folha Proof section offers the reader a shopping guide and has already evaluated items such as white wine, olive oils, hazelnut cream, frozen cheese bread and panettone. The result is not a ranking, but a list that evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the products.

Here are the comments on the selected products in the eggs category available in large supermarket chains.
